A Pearl - Mizuki Akiyama

Old mizuki wip …. Don’t ask about the lore it’s something to do with mizuki hating her past self

EDIT:
How are you people finding this LOL?! Project sekai fandom rlly persists for Mizuki. Well since youtube people are actually seeing this, I could explain a little more in depth. I went into this wanting to animate a whole lot more of the song, specifically more explicit scenes of this present Mizuki hunting down various past versions of themself that haunt them. In a way, they may resent their past self for having ever existed, the fact people remember them in their old school uniform is disturbing- and they must erase it. Someone commented on my Tik Tok saying that 'despite how different Mizuki becomes, they will always be surrounded by their past self. It's a great metaphor for dysphoria' and I really liked it. In a way I think I was thinking of this when I included the symbolism I did, but having it put in words like that really improved my opinion of how well I portrayed my message. I love you Mizuki. And I love portraying her darker more unfiltered and raw mental state, even if it gets a little ooc.

Thank you for reading if you did, and please feel free to share your thoughts on this as well, Mizuki discussion is my favorite thing in the world and I think people are silenced too often for headcanoning her differently. There's interesting dynamics in every perception, canon or not. We'll never know until (hopefully) Mizu5 lol
